more washington gridlock. no, it's worse -- look, our taxes are about to go up. not the taxes on our dividends though, right? that's a big part of our retirement. oh, no, it's dividends, too. the rate on our dividends would more than double. but we depend on our dividends to help pay our bills. we worked hard to save. well, the president and congress have got to work together to stop this dividend tax hike. before it's too late. >>> republicans throwing down the hammer on talk of ambassador susan rice as secretary of state may be softening their tone. after weeks of targeting rice over intelligence related to the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, the white house and the ambassador herself appear to have stemmed some of that criticism. here was the weekly standards over the weekend. >> i rather think he will appoint susan rice, and i think i am not a huge fan of hers, but i think she is likely to be confirmed by the senate. john kerry may be a worse secretary of state so maybe one let's him go ahead and have the secretary of state he wants. >> secretary of

what would washington look like with mitt romney in the white house? how about democrats in full control of congress? >> no. >> or crazier still, donald trump winning the write-in vote. so i was thinking about what would happen if romney were to win and either republicans take control of the senate or democrats take control of the senate. and harry reid made some news this week with a quote. he was talking about romney's argument that he would reach out to democrats and they would be able to work together. he said mitt romney's fantasy that senate democrats will work with him to pass his severely conservative agenda is laughable. >> ouch. >> i tend to agree with harry reid, not only because romney said on day one the first thing he is going to do is repeal obama care, which democrats care very deeply about and will fight the hold on to, but if romney wins, it's going to be this vindication of this strategy of obstructionism. i think democrats may not go to the extent of holding the country hostage over raising the debt ceiling, but i think they will tr

i'm not a public policy guy, i'm not a washington insider. i'm a restaurant owner from houston, texas. so i can kind of tell you my kind of brief experience -- well, lifelong experience on this, but brief kind of political side of it is back in september of last year, um, every day in our restaurant we have what we call comida in which we break bread with our staff, waiters and waitresses and to our kitchen staff, talk about showing up on time, putting the right amount of food on the table and not wasting. owning a restaurant's kind of like baby sitting, so it's kind of our moment to hit those points. and after that i had my longtime employee who's been with us over ten years, he came to us afterwards and wanted to talk to me about something. but i'd like to kind of tell you about this person before i start. over ten years ago, he came to work for our family's restaurant because his previous employer would not give him off on sunday to go to church with his family. very important part to note. i wasn't the job, it wasn't work conditions, it w

♪ >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with this. the re-elected president did it today. he said what he's going to do. how he's going to lead. he's going to do it as a world leader entering into negotiations with conditions. those preconditions are clear. a tape back from the bush tax cuts from the top. this is it. it means people know we have a president now who's ready to stand his ground, for jobs, for growth, but not the bush/romney way. no more trickle down now that the people of this country have sent their message from the top up. he will be a democratic president. he will be fair on taxes. he will use those taxes to rebuild this country and educate it up to the tough competition we face in this 21st century. rock solid he is. backed again by a majority of the american people. indeed, re-elected as the only second democrat since the civil war with two majority elections. the other, of course, is fdr. with an updated mandate he is back. some ready to deal, others hiding in their bunkers, waiting for something, anything to save

washington state again with the votes to be counted. >> maryland. >> again tipping point moments where you have some of these--you could argue republicans be--we had a great 40 year run by using some of these social issues to divide our country right? well, first look at those 40 years the democrats carried about half of the elections. what i do know it set the republican partying to the way of the republican party of california, which is the party of nothing, it's the party of nada and it's an inherent issue that they have a problem on. given the religious conservatives have a certain view on this, and yet it will be inherently problematic even rudy giuliani, who was on television last night. i don't get them. i don't get the republicans. we don't want the state to decides except when it comes to gay marriage but then the state should not decide. we don't want people in our bedroom but on issues like this. >> gavin: and rudy giuliani is one of the principle supporters of sanctuary status of immigration. we'll come back and look at what a second term of obama looks like. >> (grunting)
